Abstract
The dramatic mise en scene of marriage in the comedia created a space to engage playfully marital institutionalization - a central tenet of absolutist monarchy, Spanish nationalism, and their most significant academic mirror, the field of Spanish Golden Age studies. The comedia created places of resistance facilitated in part by the substantial growth of marital legislation and litigation that took place in the Peninsula during the 16th and 17th centuries. It did so along the lines of the bizarre and subliminal cultural production with which certain television series such as Law and Order or The Good Wife inform various imaginaries of marriage and the law in the beginning of the 21st century in the United States and, in translation, in many other countries where these shows are broadcast. The process of drafting, publication, and implementation of marital legislation in 16th-century Spain was a complex and protracted affair.Keywords: comedia; marital legislation; Spanish nationalism; United States
